I was 21 years old and diagnosed with GCT (one in a million) on clavicle (even rarer).It was surgically removed and not too much info was given except it was a rare benign tumor. I am presently 59 with a positive MRI. Looks like this thing has recurred! Almost 4o years later! Since then, I am learning that these benign tumors are very unpredictable and have a high recurrence rate. They also can metastasize to the lung. Also, they can become malignant. Benign but very destructive!I have an appointment with an orthopedic oncologist in Sept. to discuss biopsy and possible implications.
